Entered  aecojdlqgfc  Act  <«Con£v*ss,  in  the  year  18C2,  by 
G^Q.  W. fcCAKLETOX,     ,<, 

In  the  Clerk's  Office  »f  t^^ti'iet  Qomtt  of  the  United  States  for  the  Southern

C.  A.  ALVORD, 
ELECTBOTYPEU  AND  PRINTER. 


T  was  an  honest  Dutchman, 
Meinherr  Vonstoppelnoze, 
And  ever,  after  dining, 
He  sat  him  down  to  doze, 
And  slept  away  the  sultry  day 
In  beautiful  repose  ! 


908579 


ND  which  it  was  an  insect 

Come    buzzing  at   his    ear; 
But  happy  is  the  sleeper, 
And  nothing  doth  he  fear, 
Nor  dream — unconscious  mortal — 
An  enemy  is  near! 


ND  now  the  vile  intruder 
Hath  sought  the  sleepers  head, 
"  And  there   he  marcheth  gaily, 
With  bold  and  daring  tread 

MM 

But  still  the  sleeper  sleepeth 
As  he  were  of  the  dead ! 


HAT  would  the  wicked  insect  *? 

What  maketh  he  so  sly  ? 
Hath    he    a    sting   beneath    his 

wing, 

That  cursed  little  flyk? 
Potstausend !  cries  the  sleeper, 
And  openeth  his  eye ! 


.  w. 


fearful  is  his  anger 

To  view  the  flying  foe, 
That,  for  his  wicked  mischief, 
Hath  spoiled  his  slumber  so; 
Sturmvetter!  cries  the  Dutchman, 
Isk  dat  der  -cay  you  go  ? 


i^ND  now  the  wanton  insect, 
All  in  a  merry  glee, 

(Was  ever  wight,  by  day  or  night, 

^ 

So  wondrous  bold  as  he?) 

Alights,  for  his  refreshment, 
Upon  a  cup  of  tea ! 


have  him  new !  unto  himself 

Says  Herr  Vonstoppelnoze  ; 
And,  aiming  at  the  enemy 

The  sturdiest  of  blows, 
His  fist  goes  flying  through  the  air, 
And — down  the  china  goes ! 


E  sees   his   broken  crockery, 
And  heaves  a  heavy  sigh; 
There's  slivers  in  his  fingers, 
There's  fury  in  his  eye ; 
But  where — for  he  has  vanished — 
Has  fled  the  wicked  fly? 


H !  there  he  goes  as  large  as  life, 

A-buzzing  overhead ; 
That    sturdy    fist    the    mark    has 

missed, 

And  so  the  rogue  has  fled; 
Mem  Gott !  cries  Herr  Vonstoppelnoze, 
I  thought  the  imp  I\TS  dead! 


.  X 


E  makes  a  little  flapper 

To  flap  the  wicked  fly; 
Ho  !  ho  !  says  he,  "^'e  soon  shall  see — 
But  now  the  imp  is  shy; 
Tis  plain  Meinherr  Vonstoppelnoze 
Can  never  flap  so  high ! 


ND  so  he  mounts  into  his  chair, 
And  flaps  with  might  and  main ; 
With  such  a  swingeing   blow    as 

that 

The  rascal  must  be  slain; 

Alas!  the  best  of  mortal  plans 

Full  often  prove  in  vain ! 


O  fierce  a  blow  cannot  be  lost, 
As  you  may  well  suppose ; 
Up  flies   the   arm ! — down  falls 

the  chair!— 

Away  the  insect  goes — 
And  flat  upon  his  chubby  face 
Comes  Herr  Vonstoppelnoze! 


)  UT   soon  again  with    might 

and  main 

He  pounces  on  the  foe; 
is  stick  has  caught  a  flower-pot, 
And  deals  a  deadly  blow; 
His  time  has  come! — that  hated  fly 
Will  soon  be  lying  low! 


OW    there    stands    Herr  Von- 

stoppelnoze, 
All  in  a  merry  glee, 
Exulting  o'er  the  fallen  foe, 
And  crying,  Ncruu  you  sec, 
You  leedlc  tuyfel,  '•cat  you  gets 
Mit  mettle-ing  mit  me! 


ND  now  upon  the  vanquished  fly 

Behold  the  victor  tread ; 
He   tramples  on  his  ugly  limbs ; 
He  tramples  on  his  head, 
#    Until   the  cursed  insect 

A  thousand  times  is  dead ! 


|  HE  work  is  done  ! — the  victor's  joy 

Is  tingling  in  his  toes, 
So  potently  he  can't  refrain 


From  dancing  as  he  goes; 
Now  I  can  go  to  shleef  again! 
Says  Herr  Vonstoppelnoze.
